The time for New Year resolutions is here again. But is it worth the pain to make resolutions?
As the New Year gets closer, it is the time for people to make resolutions. There will be promises about living a better life: losing weight, eating more healthy foods, exercising and more. The problem is that these resolutions don’t travel beyond January. Is it worth it at all?
One will agree that making New Year resolutions have become a formality. It doesn’t matter whether they are followed or not. It is just like eating turkey on Thanksgiving Day. Life goes on as usual after a resolution is made.
There is a way of living that can remove the deception of New Year resolution.
Be frank with yourself
There is no need deceiving yourself. If you know very well you don’t carry out New Year resolutions, don’t make one at all. You give yourself too much guilty conscience by making promises that you can’t keep. It reduces your self esteem as you turn to see yourself as good for nothing. Be frank with yourself and free your mind from the gimmick.
Live everyday as if there is no other
The division of time into years and months are human. Free yourself from these artificial creations and live like a person. New Years will come and go. Nothing makes January 1st more special than May 10th. They all have 24 hours. Make daily resolutions rather.
Do the right thing once you get to know it
You must live the best life every moment. If you know eating a kind of food is not healthy, don’t wait till New Year’s Eve before you say you want to stop eating it. Stop it immediately. Life and health knows no holiday. Doing what is good should not wait for a particular day.
When you follow these guidelines you will save yourself the bad feeling of not carrying out New Year resolutions.
